“…An explanation for this might be that there is an increasing attention for youth care workers to collaborate with other professionals (Van Goor & Naber, 2016). This finding is in line with previous studies (Horn, 2008;Inge, 1993;Toros et al, 2021;Warren Little, 1993) which have suggested that professionals in education often work in a school setting, where collaboration with other professionals is not a main priority.…”

“…Koops et al (2013) argued that when professionals in youth work collaborate with other professionals, youth can be more effectively supported in a preventive setting. However, differences in competencies, values, cultures, identities, a lack of trust, and work approach between professionals from different disciplines can create barriers for successful interdisciplinary collaboration (Banks, 2013;Toros et al, 2021). Below, further attention is paid to the barriers found for youth social work professionals from different fields (youth care, education, and youth work).…”

“…For professionals in education, a barrier in interdisciplinary collaboration is formed by the fact that schools do not always require or do not create supportive environments for professionals to collaborate with professionals from other disciplines (Horn, 2008;Toros et al, 2021). Horn (2008) showed that for education professionals who work in their own classroom, collaboration with other professionals is not a priority.…”

There is an increasing attention for youth social work professionals to collaborate with volunteers, parents, and other professionals. Collaboration can contribute to positive outcomes for youth. The present study contributes to understanding differences in the extent to which youth social work professionals collaborate with volunteers, parents, and other professionals. The survey was conducted with Dutch professionals working in youth care (n = 112), education (n = 67), and youth work (n = 89). Index for Interdisciplinary Collaboration was used to assess interdependence in and reflection on the collaboration process. Significant differences were found in the extent to which professionals working in different fields experience interdependence and reflection on the collaboration process with different partners. Future researchers should be aware that the degree to which professionals collaborate with others might depend on the context, work field, and the collaboration partner. Youth social work professionals and local governments can use this study to identify strong and weak collaborative partnerships in order to better organize collaboration between different partners with the final aim of improving support of young people.

“…The evidence further indicates the role of child-friendly helplines to increase the early escalation of mistreatment events [127]. Cross-professional collaboration between public health personnel, administrative personnel, children, parents/caretakers, social care organizations, and federal agencies is necessary to challenge the rising cases of child maltreatment in the Middle East regions [128]. It is important to note that despite the child protection legislation in MENA, crimes against children continue to increase due to financial crises, infrastructure challenges, and limited public funding.…”

Child maltreatment is the most prevalent and underreported issue in the Middle East and across the globe. Misconduct with children has adverse effects on their overall health, well-being, and psychosocial development for the longer term. This review aimed to investigate recent evidence concerning child maltreatment, prevalence, risks, protective factors, and outcomes in the Middle East; it also evaluated warranted prevention strategies to combat the rising cases of child maltreatment and minimize its serious adversities. Sixty-five primary and secondary studies were included in this study after rigorous screening through PubMed/Medline, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase, Google scholar, CINAHL, and Proquest. Evidence revealed an 88% incidence of child maltreatment in the Middle East. Factors including economic crises, lack of education, and substance abuse add to the maltreatment exposure of vulnerable children. Findings indicated the adverse impact of maltreatment on the overall mental and physical health and social development of the affected children. The protective factors include community support, self-regulation, child prevention awareness campaigns and training, social competence, and high self-esteem. In conclusion, findings from this review emphasized the need to address child maltreatment in the Middle East and formulate viable approaches to improve parenting skills, satisfy the nutritional/financial requirements of underprivileged families, and improve interpersonal relationships of children with their caretakers.

“…To add more stress on teachers, there were high turnover rates among child protective service workers. This represented both the loss of important support services and the development of a working relationship that could support the process of noticing and identifying children in need (Toros et al, 2021 ).…”

Relationships between families and schools are important in the educational experiences of young children. However, the COVID-19 pandemic that began in 2019 and spread rapidly around the world disrupted many families, teachers, early childhood programs, and other child-support institutions. There is much to be learned on how this pandemic specifically affected parent–teacher relationships. This study examined whether parent, teacher and other program characteristics had an impact on early childhood parents’ ratings of the quality of their relationships with teachers. Results suggest that parent’s education, income, age of child, location of the center and distance learning availability, impacted how parents perceived their relationships with teachers. Supporting parents’ home environments may be one effective strategy for promoting positive relationships between parents and teachers in times of challenges.
